Yehudit First 

As an Emotional Body Psychotherapist, meeting Focusing was a powerful and transformative experience for me. Since then it has become an integral part of my life and practice. The desire to bring Focusing into interpersonal communication in real life, led me to develop Social Oriented Focusing (SOF).

Monika Catarina Lindner 

I love to accompany people with Focusing and Thinking At the Edge (TAE) to find their own language for what they want to become aware and express from the heart. When intuitive and logical thinking are brought into exchange, amazing new concepts emerge that make a tangible difference .. . mirabilis
